Philosophy and theology frequently overlap. Philosophers have long questioned the nature of existence and agency. Theologians have engaged with philosophical traditions in developing their understanding of individual and collective belief.This programme offers you an opportunity to explore these intersections. You will study the metaphysical, ethical and theological traditions that have shaped contemporary thinking.You can also choose to focus on philosophy and theology as separate subjects, adjusting the balance between them according to your interests.Most of your theology teaching will be in New College in the centre of Edinburgh. This city landmark has its own historic library, hall and garden.Your philosophy teaching will be a short walk away in George Square. The square is also home to many other study and student support facilities, including the University Main Library.Philosophy facilities include a skills centre and subject library.
